August Release Retrospective Blog Hop

Welcome to Verve's August Release Retrospective Blog Hop! The Verve Divas are hopping today and serving up some more inspiration using the August release stamps & dies! Besides a peek at some really cool cards, there are also a couple of prizes up for grabs!

I picked up this fun new Cupcakes set and I love it! So many great sentiments to choose from as well as several build your own cupcake images too. Super sweet.

I stamped the sentiments in Smoke ink and then built the cupcake in between in Blu Raspberry and Sour Apple inks. For the background there, I used the stripes and dots background from Bountiful Backgrounds and stamped it on the diagonal. The banner across the top is the Pennant Trim Die and then I accented the corner with some sequins from the new Signature Sequin Mix. The layout is this week's MOJO362 and the color combo is Color Throwdown's CTD309.

Want to win some shiny new Verve? We're giving away a $40 gift voucher to one lucky commenter along the hop, so be sure to leave a shout out in the comments as you hop about.

Want another chance to win? Now it's your turn! We'd LOVE to see what you've done with the August release. Link up your cards using at least one product from our August release and you'll be entered in a drawing to win our entire next release!All the details and the linkup widget are on the Verve Blog today. The deadline is October 3, so there's still plenty of time to get the August release if you haven't already.
